Description

Hi ,

I am following the link to make the load balancer with NGINX
​https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/how-to-guides/new-user-guides/infrastructure-setup/nginx-load-balancer#create-nginx-configuration

this above configuration seems to be tested with 1.14.

but when i use the nginx.conf , it seems that the syntax is not correct .
please help to resolve this .

Your configuration uses proxy_pass rancher_servers_https; at server context in the "http" block:

http {
    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        proxy_pass rancher_servers_https;

In http, proxy_pass is only allowed at location level, see ​docs. Hence nginx complains.

Further, note that the configuration also tries to use rancher_servers_https upstream in the "http" block, but an upstream with such name is only defined in the "stream" block. This is not going to work.

Overall, example configuration you are trying to use looks completely broken. You may want to report this authors of the article in question.

If you have further questions on how to configure nginx, please use ​support options available.
